Lack of Quality African American television comedies

Back in the day there was The Cosby show, A different world(My favorite, it showed Black ppl in a university setting), Fresh prince of bel-air and the Hughleys. These are the ones where you pick things up and educated you on some things.

Then there was Steve harvey show, Jamie Foxx show, Martin, Living single, Malcolm & Eddie, etc which were just laugh out loud hilarious.


Nowadays what is there. House of Payne? save me that bullshit.

I'm not even an avid tv watcher like I was back in the day. There just seems to be nothing of quality like back in the day.

When I am watching TV comedies(ones with a laugh track), I find myself watching How I met your mother, Big Bang theory, reruns of Everybody loves Raymond and King of Queens

King of queens is funny as hell.

Yeah..thanks everyone for mentioning more. I forgot Family Matters, Wayans Bros(how i could forget this show is beyond me, I watched it religiously lol), Bernie Mac show(an acquired taste for some, yet still funny), and probably still more. There was all these great shows and then Black comedies just fell off past 2001.

Whikle is right My wife and kids was okay somewhat, then there was Eve, One on one, Girlfriends, Half and half, Cuts, and the Game(still airing on BET) Basically any show on UPN at the time. Those shows were so so. Some of you either hated it or tolerated it. Everybody hates chris is another acquired taste.

I didn't mention Boondocks because it is animated, though up there in one of the greats if this was the last season.

Damn I miss Martin. Brotha man, hustle man, all type of characters on the show
[youtube]FrmoUjB-ilQ[/youtube] It's funny, Bruh Man was probably on Martin for a total of 13 minutes and he's one of the most memorable characters on the show. He was "jus chillin'". Bruh Man was the shit.

Yeah I agree there really isn't any good sitcoms nowadays. If you look back in the 90's there was nothing but good sitcoms, I feel that reality shows are taking its place. If I want to watch a good sitcom it would have to be re-runs like martin, fresh prince, wayans bros , sanford and son and a couple of others I can't think of at the moment.

Black women will always be hating on Taye diggs. He and Blair Underwood, have been officially ex-communicated from the Black community by BW. Aww well WW have accepted them with open arms and are now going to be there core demographics

They hate Wesley too..despite the fact that Wes has done more for Black actresses than Robert Deniro.
 
I don't know why the sisters hate Diggs and Underwood. Those men just has a few scenes with WW. Yes as for Snipes that is true. I no doubt think the sisters hate Mario Van Peebles since he has been with more WW than those other actors combined.
